New info about upcoming Game of Thrones videogame

Telltale Games has released sparse new information teasing their upcoming Game of Thrones videogame.

Following Telltale‘s typical format, the game will be released episodically starting in late 2014. It will be character- and dialogue-heavy, with player actions influencing later conversations and events.

The game was announced at the 2013 Spike VGX videogame awards last December. The first teaser trailer was also released on that day.

Cian:A lot can be guessed from the above image as to what the plot will potentially entail. Unsullied readers should be especially wary, as spoiler talk and speculation is inevitable.

Given that the Game of Thrones episodes will be released concurrently with Tales from the Borderlands, the whole thing will probably be released over 9-10 months. That’s what happened with The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead Season 2.

I’m not a gamer, but I’ll definitely be buying this. Forrest clans, Ironborn and Stannis the Mannis, what more would you want of a GoT game. Love the fact that it will be character and dialogue heavy, since I’m not very good at action heavy games. I hope for a lot of canon information 😀

I think it’s strange that a post about the game on IGN actually contains more asoiaf/got related stuff then a post here on a game of thrones website. It might be because there is not much interest into the game but atleast some insight on what it could have been about would have been appriciated. Even if it was just the same as IGN as they had some interesting stuff to say about it.

But that’s my only small complaint I have about the post. No problems with any other content though.

I loved what this company did with The Walking Dead. These are games where the focus is on storytelling and decision making, not so much on the action and button smashing. I do pirate things from time to time (argh!), but I paid money for Walking Dead after I got it, as I wanted to make sure that good work was supported.

Hopefully this time the company is equipped to deal with publishing two games at the same time. When they did The Walking Dead season 2 and The Wolf Among Us the latter suffered really badly and the publishing schedule was weird with there being 4 months between episodes 1 and 2 (it was supposed to be a month per episode) and the last three ones being put out in a quick succession, being short and story suffering.
